* The Chosen Bride *

She was in total horror and terror and it is the first time she wants to argue with her parents. "You will marry Carl after your eightenth birthday", her dad announced during dinner looking in her direction, so she's sure he is talking to no other than her. " Why me? he is Mandy's future husband", soft spoken as usual, she asked her dad then look in her older sister's direction.It is the first time ever she questioned her dad's decision. " It is you he wants to marry", her dad told her with finality. She couldn't stop as her tears fall down her delicate face, as usual she had no courage to argue with her parents decision.
